Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about joining Hari Prabhu Yog & Fitness Classes.

Most expectant mothers can safely begin prenatal yoga around 12 to 14 weeks (start of the second trimester), provided your gynecologist has cleared you for gentle exercise. If you already had an active yoga practice prior to pregnancy, customized modifications can be tailored earlier.
